Call Divert FRAUD suspected
PeterLa_2190512 Straight away with the accusations?? How can Smarty stop some scumbag dialling your number in the hope of scamming you?
Some call centres have machines that auto dial random numbers, in the hope that someone will pick up and present an opportunity for a scam.
One possibility is to not answer calls that are not from one of your contact list.
Ofcom will only get involved in a specific issue where you have no response after eight weeks and preferably have a letter of deadlock on the issue.
MSF The scumbags have not called him, they have called other people and have spoofed their caller ID as a UK number, which just happens to be his number on this occasion. People are then calling the number back and asking him why he's called them, but he hasn't.
SmartyTrousers Yes, that certainly is another explanation. I was thinking that a scumbag, having obtained an answer to one of the myriad calls, would then play the person for any possible information.
